Send Me Stuff

So you want to send me stuff…

I would love help in getting resupplied while I am on the trail. Balancing the need for food with the weight in my pack is a major concern. Most hikers can’t carry more than 4-5 days worth of food at one time so that means we have to stop often to resupply.

If you are sending things, keep in mind that anything you send me, I have to carry. Food should be non-perishable and sealed as well as small and easy to carry. Also, sending to post offices in towns far from the trail means that I have to hitch a ride or walk a far distance. So, try and let me know you are sending things and pick a location as close to the trail as possible.

Send the package several days ahead of my pace to make sure I don’t walk past the package before it arrives. You can coordinate that with me. Just text me at 770-826-0219.

Here are a few resources to help you know where to send things. Look for stores, hostels or post offices listed and call ahead to make sure they will accept packages.
